Aubameyang levelled the scores by bundling home from close range but the shock loss for Peter Bosz’s men leaves them without a win in eight league games and 13 points behind league leaders Bayern Munich. The Gabon striker had equalled the record in Dortmund’s Ruhr derby collapse from 4-0 up against Schalke to draw 4-4, with his Bremen goal taking him to 97 Bundesliga strikes. Aubameyang’s new record was previously held by Tony Yeboah, the Ghana striker who played for Eintracht Frankfurt and Hamburg either side of a spell in the Premier League with Leeds United....

The Wekiva High senior and Auburn commit was diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia on Thanksgiving morning and began chemotherapy treatment the next day, the Orlando Sentinel reported Thursday. MORE: Athletes, coaches and other sports figures fighting cancer A 6-4, 260-pound defensive tackle, Manning stayed strong and determined as he underwent his first chemotherapy treatment last Friday. “He took it like a champ,” Manning’s father, former Marshall standout Buck Manning, told the paper....

In the risk-happy, reward-crazed wireless business, it may help to be a little of both. The stunningly expensive race to bring so-called third-generation (3G) mobile phone services to Europe is just getting under way. Other governments are ogling the U.K. Treasury’s returns–and preparing to divvy up their own airwaves. Telecom operators are determined to stay in the game, because they think people will want constant access to the Internet for everything from e-mail and trading stocks to finding a nearby restaurant or watching a video stream of the grandchildren....

The Audi Urbansphere concept was built with the country’s traffic-packed megacities, imagining a future where the vehicle can fill the gap of providing personal space where it’s lacking. This is the third “sphere” concept. The company showcased its Skysphere and Grandsphere concepts last year. In a press release, Audi chairman Markus Duesmann said that engineers and designers built a van to exemplify the wants of its Chinese customer base....

On November 12, 2022, a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and a Bell P-63 Kingcobra collided midair during the Wings Over Dallas air show that was taking place at the Dallas Executive Airport. The crash left six individuals—Terry Barker, Craig Hutain, Kevin Michels, Dan Ragan, Len Root and Curt Rowe—dead. No people on the ground at the show were injured or killed. The Dallas Morning News reported Thursday that it had obtained a 36-minute air traffic control recording from the air show, providing a new glimpse into the time surrounding the deadly incident....

What was it about The Gilded Age that first inspired you to do it, and were you a fan of Downton Abbey? Oh, yes, I was a huge fan of Downton Abbey. I eat all those costume dramas up. Word started circulating that this project was happening and I knew from my good pal, Christine [Baranski], that she was going to be a part of it and it seemed like every person on Broadway was being cast....

Under the AUKUS security partnership, Australia will build eight nuclear-powered submarines with U.S. and British technology. This is instead of the 2016 deal on conventional submarines struck with France’s Naval Group. That deal was valued at approximately $AU 50 billion, upon cancellation of the contract, it had blown out to $90 billion. “Moving full steam ahead with the current Future Submarine project defies logic,” argued Maria Rost Rublee, associate professor of politics and international relations at Monash University, in a 2018 blog post....

Djokovic, who has denied confirming whether or not he has received the COVID-19 vaccine, was detained by immigration authorities on Thursday. The Serbian tennis player was originally allowed to attend the Australian Open through an exemption given by the Victoria state government and Tennis Australia. However, that exemption and his visa were canceled upon his arrival to the country on Wednesday. “No one is above these rules,” said Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison during a press conference on Thursday....

LibertyWorks President Andrew Cooper is considering appealing the ruling to the Australian High Court after his organization’s lawyers argued in front of Federal Court in early May that Health Minister Greg Hunt did not have the authority to enforce the international travel ban. The emergency order preventing Australians from leaving their country has been in place since March 2020 due to COVID-19. “We are very disappointed in the judgement today....

Federer joined Wawrinka — who dumped out defending champion Novak Djokovic in his quarterfinal — in the semifinals with a 6-3, 6-4, 6-7 (6-8), 6-3 victory over Andy Murray on Wednesday. Wawrinka faces Tomas Berdych on Thursday, with Rafael Nadal set to renew his rivalry with Federer 24 hours later. And while Federer is delighted to see close friend and Davis Cup teammate Wawrinka progress this far, the world No....

It’s no stretch to say that Djokovic played some of the best tennis of his 16-year professional career on the way to claiming his 15th major title. Nadal simply had no answer to the service game, the ground strokes or the defense of Djokovic as the 31-year-old won a historic seventh Australian Open title. MORE: Osaka finally has her magic moment It’s a record he now holds alone, having gone one better than Roger Federer and Roy Emerson....

The world No. 2 takes on Dominic Thiem, the No.5 seed, in the men’s final on Sunday, looking to successfully defend the title he won 12 months ago and take his career Grand Slam tally to 17 titles, two behind Rafael Nadal and three behind Roger Federer’s record of 20. The latter capitulated in straight sets against Djokovic on Thursday, as the Serb extended his lead in the all-time series over the Swiss to 27-23....

However, there was a new sponsor in 2019, and it’s been around ever since and is back in 2023. What the blinkin’ hell is 1573, you’ve been asking? Back in October 2018, tournament officials announced one of the biggest sponsorship deals in the Australian Open’s history, with Chinese Baijiu distillery Luzhou Laojiao becoming an associate sponsor of the tournament for the next five years. They’ve even got their own court at Melbourne Park after Court 2 was officially renamed to ‘1573 Arena’ in 2019....

Dominika Pindor, 14, was born in Poland and now lives in Illinois with her family. On TikTok, she has over 250,000 followers on her account @the.teen.writer, where she makes videos about books and writing. Wings and Shadows received positive reviews on popular site Goodreads, where readers can post their views on books they’ve read. However, one review criticized the writer for being an immigrant. “Someone just left me a one-star review because i’m a (LEGAL) immigrant....

Long the subject of trade speculation, general manager Joe Sakic said Thursday he expects the star center to attend training camp in Colorado when the team reconvenes later this month. And while he remains open for business, the notoriously stubborn Sakic has yet to receive an offer for Duchene that meets his liking. “I will be listening to offers. Right now it’s quiet on all fronts,” he told The Denver Post....

On January 1, 1979, the United States switched recognition from Taipei to Beijing as the sole government of China. American strategists thought they needed the help of the People’s Republic of China in the Cold War. That may have been a good move at the time, but continuing the support of Beijing after the fall of the Soviet Union has been, as Arthur Waldron of the University of Pennsylvania once told me, “our greatest foreign policy failure....

However, ARFID is much more than just being a “picky eater”—a person with ARFID might avoid a wide variety of foods because they have sensory sensitivity, apparent lack of interest in eating, or a concern of an adverse consequence of eating, such as a fear of vomiting or choking. ARFID was first listed as a diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5)—the handbook that mental health professionals currently use to diagnose eating disorders and other mental health conditions—in 2013....

“We are a swimming country and I don’t see us stopping swimming,” says Michael Beach (yes, that is his real last name), associate director of the Healthy Waters program at the CDC. “The public needs to understand that they’re part of the solution. We can’t fix the problems of outbreaks when swimmers are coming in when they’re clearly ill.” Whether spending the day poolside or bumming around the beach, the chances of recreational water illness can easily be reduced by taking a few health and hygiene precautions before you dive in....

A requisite WAGs s-storm followed. Not being a follower of Mrs. Curry, I happened upon said scandal via Chrissy Teigen who felt compelled to tweet support to this besieged baller’s wife. What exactly had gone down to prompt Teigen, about as close to fashionable/feminist/hilarious perfection as we get on Twitter, to intervene. Wait for it … MORE: Why no one can guard Steph Curry | Curry’s crazy skills, caught on camera...

Newsweek asked a senior Pentagon official how the U.S.-NATO nuclear deterrence doctrine is affected by rising tensions between Washington and Moscow over the latter’s decision to conduct a “special military operation” that has seen Russian troops advance through Ukraine in an attempt to surround the capital Kyiv. “The defense of our allies in Article 5 remains ironclad across the realm of military capabilities,” the official said. Article 5 outlines the principle of “collective defence” in NATO’s founding treaty....
